Chapter 87 Father and Son Game

Shang Zongguan's playful voice came, followed by Zhao Feng's slightly embarrassed laughter.

"You really can't hide anything from your godfather."

Zhao Feng's tone was flattering, as if he had found the feeling of being a young eunuch when he was young.

"Feng'er, you are now the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you have to behave in front of people and behind people."

After being reminded like this, Zhao Feng coughed dryly: "Uh, I'm used to it, I'm used to it."

Zhao Feng didn't care much about these, and still smiled.

He was very kind in front of people, and now he had no temper at all when facing Shang Zongguan.

Shang Zongguan frowned at his appearance, shook his head and sighed: "If you can be more strict in front of people, how much trouble can you save?"

"Maintaining your majesty can deter those scoundrels with evil intentions. Don't you find it troublesome every time you deal with them?"

Shang Zongguan said, picked up another chess piece, and continued to study the chess record in his hand.

"I have other opinions on this."

Zhao Feng set up the chessboard and looked at the dazzling array of black and white pieces on it, not being very interested.

"It's better to get rid of those with bad intentions as soon as possible."

"The palace can be cleaner, and I can also relieve my boredom. It's worth it to be a little tired."

Zhao Feng grinned, and his wrinkled face showed a childlike playfulness.

The current head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is old but not old at heart.

Headmaster Shang shook his head secretly and didn't comment any more.

Although his godson smiles every day, his heart is crueler than his own.

Otherwise, with so many godsons, how could Zhao Feng take the throne.

Zhao Feng has as many smiles on his face as he has calculations in his heart.

When he was young, he was nicknamed "Smiling Tiger".

There is also a widely circulated saying "Zhao Feng smiles, life and death are unpredictable".

Zhao Feng then suppressed his smile and continued, "I came here to ask my godfather some questions."

General Manager Shang raised the chess record in his hand, covered his face, and said, "I told you at the beginning that since you are the general manager, you have to handle these things yourself."

"Whether you can do it or not, I don't care."

"Whether you can keep this position or not, it's your own fate!"

General Manager Shang ruthlessly rejected his godson.

Zhao Feng immediately took down the chess record and explained, "Oh, don't worry, I am doing a good job as the general manager."

"You don't even have this little trust in me."

Zhao Feng muttered dissatisfiedly.

The relationship between these two people is different from that of most of the adopted fathers and sons in the palace. There is really a sense of father and son.

The tone of both of them is very casual. Even though they are in high positions and what they talk about must not be trivial matters, they are as relaxed and comfortable as chatting about family matters.

"The relationship between Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng is quite good. I wonder what they have been through over the years."

Li Xuan thought of Deng Weixian and his godfather. It was probably still a long way to go for their relationship to be so close.

At this time, Zhao Feng pondered for a moment and continued, "Recently, people in the palace are in turmoil, the situation is treacherous, and many forces are fighting in secret."

Hearing this, Shang Zongguan slapped Zhao Feng's hand away and picked up the chess record again.

"This is the business of the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"Do you think I put you up here as a good omen?"

But the next moment, Zhao Feng took off the chess record from Shang Zongguan's hand again and said seriously, "Godfather, but I think they seem to be plotting against Your Majesty!"

Shang Zongguan did not slap his hand away this time, but narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you serious?"

"If I am not sure, how dare I disturb my godfather." Zhao Feng replied.

Shang Zongguan finally showed a serious look and asked, "What's the situation?"

"It's just a few insignificant chess pieces, but the situation is not comparable to the past."

"The previous crown prince controversy is just the beginning."

"Although the civil officials were defeated for a while, they haven't been seriously injured."

"The nobles took advantage of the situation and seem to be rising, but they are just the next prey."

"Someone is stirring up trouble in the dark and disrupting the court."

"This matter has gone beyond the scope of the harem, and I don't know what to do."

Zhao Feng seemed to be asking for Shang Zongguan's opinion, but from his expression and tone, it is not difficult to see that he has made a decision.

Shang Zongguan put down the chess book completely and rubbed his eyebrows.

"I knew that this kid would definitely not have good things to do when he came to me."

Having been used to a leisurely life, Shang Zongguan sincerely hated this kind of intrigue.

But people in the palace cannot help themselves.

"How sure are you?"

"That depends on your majesty's determination."

Zhao Feng answered, but slowly clenched his right fist.

General Manager Shang knew that his godson was sure to win.

"I will report this to your majesty, but I can't say how your majesty will do it and to what extent."

"But remember this, no matter what His Majesty asks, you must satisfy him and not do anything without authorization."

Zhao Feng immediately smiled and patted his chest to promise: "Godfather, do you still not trust me?"

"If it weren't for you, would I need to say this?"

Shang Zongguan said unhappily.

They have been father and son for many years, who can hide it from whom?

Zhao Feng laughed awkwardly and said no more.

"In this case, I will wait for the news from my godfather."

Zhao Feng was about to get up and say goodbye, but was stopped by Shang Zongguan.

"What's the hurry? Help me put away the chessboard."

After hearing this, Zhao Feng sat down again and slowly helped to collect the chess pieces on the chessboard.

While collecting the chess pieces, Shang Zongguan said:

"You should try to do as little as possible."

"Just take these extra chess pieces, don't think about the chessboard."

"If you want to have a good end in the future, you have to work harder now."

"Godfather can protect you for a while, but not for the rest of your life."

"You are not young anymore, you should think about your afterlife."

Zhao Feng disagreed, picked up the chess pieces one by one, and said: "Based on my child's cultivation, I am afraid that I will be as old as you by then, what are you afraid of?"

"You kid!"

Shang Zongguan frowned fiercely.

Even though they both looked old, in Shang Zongguan's heart, Zhao Feng was still the child of the past.

Although the two were not related by blood, they were as close as father and son.

Especially in this deep palace, this kind of relationship was even more rare.

Shang Zongguan could spend his old age so peacefully, and his godson contributed greatly.

Otherwise, who would dare to give away the power they have obtained easily?

Otherwise, who would allow a more worthy steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs than himself?

"All troubles are caused by profit; if you don't seek profit, where will the disaster come from?"

Shang Zongguan finally gave a sincere advice.

But Zhao Feng still insisted on his own way.

"Godfather, it's not me who wants to make trouble, it's them who want to make trouble for me."

Zhao Feng looked at Shang Zongguan seriously, showing his attitude of not giving in.

Who would have thought that Shang Zongguan would say another sentence with a sense of regret:

"I'm not talking about you!"

Zhao Feng was stunned, and then suddenly realized.

He cleared all the chess pieces on the chessboard in a few moves, and said with a smile: "Godfather still loves his child."
